NEW: The AFL-CIO labor federation says it’s spending seven figures on television and radio ads aimed at bolstering Senate support for the #PROAct, which would make it easier for workers to join unions.

We're mobilizing for the #PROAct by reminding folks of what they already know: getting a return on your hard work shouldn’t be this hard. #1u

The AFL-CIO urges swift confirmation of Kristen Clarke to be Assistant Attorney General for the @CivilRights Division in the @TheJusticeDept which is charged with enforcing federal statutes that aim to protect every person in the United States from discriminatory treatment.
Ms. Clarke is the ideal person to lead this work, which is as consequential today as it was when the Division was created by the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Ms. Clarke most recently served as the President and Executive Director of the @LawyersComm. Established in 1963 to engage the private bar in the defense of civil rights, the Lawyer’s Committee is now well known for its signature “Election Protection” operation,

This #COVID19 relief package also includes $15B to extend the airline worker #PayrollSupportProgram, $3B to support aviation manufacturing, $30B for public transit, and $1.5 billion for @Amtrak, along with the strong worker protections tied to the use of these emergency funds.
Though this funding will not fully meet the needs of our entire transportation sector, it is a critical step forward to prevent both interruptions in transportation services across the country and the furloughs or layoffs of millions of transportation workers.
Once again, we urge you to vote for #AmericanRescuePlan to help Americans get back on their feet and to begin to rebuild our economy after suffering through a once-in-a-century pandemic.

The AFL-CIO supports the #AmericanRescuePlan, which the Senate will consider later this week. This emergency measure will provide $1.9T to help us beat the pandemic and provide critical economic support to millions of American families.
Millions remain out of work, families are in danger of losing their homes and communities across the country still lack the PPE, testing and vaccine distribution networks they need to stay safe.
Congress must pass this bill without delay.
The #AmericanRescuePlan includes $350B in unrestricted aid to states, counties, local governments, tribes and territories.

The AFL-CIO urges Senate support for the confirmation of RI Governor @GinaRaimondo as the U.S. Sec'y of Commerce. Gov. Raimondo has a proven record of economic leadership that created economic opportunity and tens of thousands of good paying jobs for all Rhode Islanders.
A bold, progressive Governor, Raimondo invested in a wide range of infrastructure projects that supported the creation of good family sustaining jobs with wages and benefits that provided a pathway to the middle class.
With the creation of the nation’s first offshore wind farm, @GovRaimondo demonstrated that investing in clean energy does not mean sacrificing good union jobs.
